# std::basic_filebuf<CharT,Traits>::imbue

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | basic filebuf

protected: virtual void imbue( const std::locale& loc ) |  |

Changes the associated locale so that all characters inserted or extracted after this call (and until another call to `imbue()`) are converted using the std::codecvt facet of `loc`.

If the old locale's encoding is state-dependent and file is not positioned at the beginning, then the new locale must have the same std::codecvt facet as the one previously imbued.

### Parameters

loc | - | the locale to imbue the stream with

### Return value

(none)
